” There should be agreed with the unions. I see little movement from the management. Now it’s as if uncontrolled mutiny has broken out, “says president Steven Verhagen of the VNV against The Telegraph . Last Thursday responded director Frederic Gagey Air France rather left on the intention of the French pilots to stop work during the European Football Championships. Which begins next Friday.

Verhagen in the dark about how to proceed. “It seems like they think at Air France KLM that there is nothing more to do. It is time that the new chairman takes office and intervenes. This can not go on. “

Air France KLM is likely to be a rudderless ship. The new CEO Jean-Marc Janaillac only occurs on August 1. The current CEO Alexandre de Juniac is headed for the exit, and is bad for the unions. The French crew wants the changing of the guard at the top mark with a strike. This Juniac gets a fitting farewell gift and Janaillac know immediately where they stand. Eighteen months ago kosttte a two-week strike pilots of Air France KLM half a billion euros.

Last year, the Franco-Dutch airline managed to make a meager scoop of € 118 million. The strikes may evaporate earnings prospects this year.
